-===Death of Parents===
+===Passing of His Parents===
-At the age of six, Muhammad (s) accompanied his mother Amina to [[Medina]]. Amina passed away on the return journey in a place called [[Abwa']] and was buried there. [[Umm Ayman]], took him back to Mecca, after Amina's death. [['Abd al-Muttalib]], the grandfather of Muhammad (s), took care of him until the age of eight, and upon 'Abd al-Muttalib's passing, his care was entrusted to his uncle, [[Abu Talib]].<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-Nabawīyya'', vol. 1, p. 168-169,179; Masʿūdī, ''Murūj al-dhahab'', vol. 2, p. 281.</ref>
+At the tender age of six, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) embarked on a journey with his mother, Amina, to Medina. Tragically, on their return trip, Amina fell ill and passed away in the village of [[Abwa]], where she was laid to rest. Following this heartbreaking loss, [[Umm Ayman]] lovingly escorted the young Muhammad (PBUH) back to Mecca. His grandfather, [[Abd al-Muttalib]], then took him under his protective care until he, too, passed away when Muhammad was eight. Thereafter, his devoted uncle, Abu Talib, embraced the responsibility of his guardianship, ensuring his nephew's well-being and nurturing him into adulthood.<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-Nabawīyya'', vol. 1, p. 168-169,179; Masʿūdī, ''Murūj al-dhahab'', vol. 2, p. 281.</ref>
-===Journey to Syria===
+===Journey to Sham===
-At the age of twelve, or some say nine or thirteen, Muhammad (s) accompanied Abu Talib on a trade caravan of the [[Quraysh]] to [[Syria]]. Muhammad (s) once again traveled to Syria at the age of twenty-five for trade, financed by [[Khadija]], a journey that laid the groundwork for the marriage of Muhammad (s) and Khadijah.<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-Nabawīyya'', vol. 1, p. 181; Yaʿqūbī, ''Tārīkh al-Yaʿqūbī'', vol. 2, p. 20.</ref>
+At the age of twelve, nine, or thirteen, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) joined his uncle Abu Talib on a trading caravan of [[Quraysh]] to Sham ([[Syria]]). Years later, at twenty-five, he embarked on another trading expedition to Sham, this time managing the business affairs of Lady Khadija (S). This pivotal journey not only marked his successful career in trade but also culminated in his marriage to Lady [[Khadija]] (S), forging a profound partnership that would significantly shape his future mission.<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-Nabawīyya'', vol. 1, p. 181; Yaʿqūbī, ''Tārīkh al-Yaʿqūbī'', vol. 2, p. 20.</ref>
 ==Reconstruction of the Ka'ba==
 {{main|Reconstruction of the Ka'ba before Islam}}
-Ten years after his marriage to Khadija and fifteen years after the fourth Fijar war, when Muhammad (s) was thirty-five years old, the Quraysh decided to reconstruct the Ka'ba. In this reconstruction, Muhammad  (s) placed the [[Black Stone]] (al-Hajar al-aswad) in its place.<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-Nabawīyya'', vol. 1, p. 192; Ṭabarī, ''Tārīkh al-Ṭabarī'', p. 321-323.</ref>
+A decade after his blessed marriage to Lady Khadija (RA) and fifteen years following the fourth Fijar War, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), at the age of thirty-five, was honored to participate in the momentous reconstruction of the Kaaba. The Quraysh tribe, driven by a profound reverence for the sacred sanctuary, embarked on this noble endeavor. During this significant undertaking, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was bestowed with the esteemed role of placing the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) in its rightful position. <ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-Nabawīyya'', vol. 1, p. 192; Ṭabarī, ''Tārīkh al-Ṭabarī'', p. 321-323.</ref>
-Some reports suggest that Muahammad's age at the time of this event was twenty-five.<ref>Yaʿqūbī, ''Tārīkh al-Yaʿqūbī'', vol. 1, p. 19.</ref>
+Although some sources suggest that this pivotal event occurred when the Prophet (PBUH) was twenty-five, it remains a testament to his esteemed place and revered status among his people even before his prophethood.<ref>Yaʿqūbī, ''Tārīkh al-Yaʿqūbī'', vol. 1, p. 19.</ref>
